National Eating Disorder Information Centre (NEDIC)

We believe that through open, supportive dialogue, we can help break the shame, stigma and silence that affect nearly 1 million Canadians living with a diagnosable eating disorder — and the millions of others who are struggling with food and weight preoccupation.

What can the helpline do for me?

Helpline and Instant Chat

We operate Canada’s only national toll-free helpline and instant chat providing resources, referrals and support to people across Canada either directly or indirectly affected by disordered eating and related concerns.

NEDIC's Bulletin is published five times a year, offering articles from eating disorder practitioners of diverse backgrounds and professions.

NEDIC focuses on awareness and the prevention of eating disorders, food and weight preoccupation, and disordered eating by promoting critical thinking skills. Additional programs include the free online Beyond Images and Au-delà de l’image curricula and a biennial conference.

Effective immediately, NEDIC is closed to walk-in clients.

This step is necessary as our offices are located within Toronto General Hospital. We’ll let you know when we can reopen to walk-in visits. Thanks for your understanding.
